Named after the locomotives that once rumbled down R Street, Iron Horse Tavern features a style that interweaves the area’s industrial heritage with sleek international touches.
Reclaimed wood and hexagonal tile constituting the floors in the dining room and bar. The bar itself will feature a black anodized steel facing and pounded copper top with blown glass light fixtures and a model locomotive perched beneath the antique tin ceiling.
Three booths, including one with a fireplace, will line one side of the bar space. Iron Horse’s glass doors, meanwhile, will open onto the surrounding patio, where guests can dine and drink alfresco.
Iron Horse reflects the latest entry in restaurateurs Mason, Alan, and Curtis Wong's 10-year collaboration with Shopworks, the Napa-based design firm that has helped craft the look of Cafeteria 15L, Firestone Public House, and Mix Downtown.
Executive Chef Christian Palmos will oversee the menu at Iron Horse Tavern.
